How does BlogBurst work?

BlogBurst is an opt-in wire service for bloggers and publishers.

1. You sign up and tell us about your blog, then blog as usual
2. We promote your blog in our publisher workbench
3. Our top-tier publishers display your blog content on their sites
4. Clicks on your byline drive new traffic to your blog

What do you get out of this?

* Visibility and exposure on major news and portal sites
* Traffic through attribution and links back to your blog
* Authority and credibility within your topic area
* New readers who wouldn’t normally find out about your blog
* The opportunity to take your blog to the next level

What kinds of blogs are we looking for?

Our partner publishers are most interested in blogs that are updated frequently and contain well written, topically focused content — stuff that would be appropriate to appear on a major online destination.
Current hot topics (we’ll consider others):

* Travel
* Women’s Issues
* Technology & Gadgets
* Food & Entertainment
* Local Metros

Blog Requirements:

* Full text syndication feed in RSS or Atom; most common blogging systems will work fine
* At least weekly posting
* No advertising in your feed (for now)
* Family-friendly language and content
* Distinct, intelligent writing style

What makes BlogBurst unique?

BlogBurst is the first and only service that combines people and technology for the purpose of presenting blog content on major online properties. We have a growing roster of top-tier publishers ready to tap into the rich, diverse content that the blogosphere offers.
